• ABS System
• Engine System
• SAS System (Steering Angle Sensor)
• TPMS System (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
• IMMO System (Immobilizer)
• Battery System
• Oil Service System
• SRS System (Supplemental Restraint System)

4.2 Special Functions

The XTOOL ASD60 supports 9 common special functions. Please note that supported model years may vary for each function. Always verify compatibility for your specific vehicle before performing these operations.

• Oil Reset: Resets the Engine Oil Life System, which calculates the optimum oil life change interval. This must be reset after each oil change.
• EPB Reset (Electronic Parking Brake): Resets the electronic parking brake system and brake pads. Supports brake pad replacement (retraction, release of the brake pump), G-sensor, and body angle calibration.
• SAS Adjustment (Steering Angle Sensor): Recalibrates the steering angle sensor. Clears SAS fault memory upon successful calibration.
• BMS Reset (Battery Management System): Evaluates battery charge state, monitors close-circuit current, registers battery replacement, and activates the rest state of the vehicle.
• Throttle Relearn: Makes initial settings to throttle actuators and returns "learned" values stored on the ECU to the default state. Accurately controls throttle actions to adjust air intake.
• Injector Coding: Writes the identification code of the injector into the ECU for proper recognition and normal operation.
• Gearbox Match: Resets the adaptive shifting points in your automatic Transmission Control Unit.
• ECU Configuration: Supports activation of hidden functions (e.g., adjusting lamp brightness, locking the car and unlocking the horn) for vehicles where high-level and low-level configurations share the same ECU, or when adding features unique to high-end vehicles. (Currently compatible with Seat, Skoda, VW, Audi. Please check compatibility for your specific car brand and year.)
• DPF Regeneration (Diesel Particulate Filter): Clears PM (Particulate Matter) from the DPF filter through continuous combustion oxidation mode to stabilize filter performance.

4.3 Comprehensive OBD2 Functions

The ASD60 provides all standard OBD2 diagnostic functions, which are available for free and receive lifetime updates:

• Read extensive current, pending, and permanent codes in the OBD system.
• Clear detected fault codes and turn off the Check Engine Light.
• View graphical live data of vehicle's computer module(s) for easy analysis.
• View the vehicle's operating parameters at the moment a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is detected (Freeze Frame).
• Read I/M readiness status to check for state emissions compliance.
• Perform O2 sensor test to check fuel efficiency and vehicle emissions.
• Read the results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components/systems.
• Retrieve complete vehicle information (VIN, CINs, and CVNs).
• Perform Component Test by initiating a leak test for the vehicle's EVAP system.

4.4 Actuation Test (Bi-directional Control)

The ASD60 supports actuation tests, allowing you to send signals to the system control unit to control and test specific actuators. This helps in diagnosing faulty lines, control units, or actuators. Examples of actuation tests include:

• Disable Injector
• Compression Test
• EGR Test
• Idle Relearn
• Fuel Pump activation
• Injector Beep Test
• Window/Mirror/Door Lock Test
• Pump and Valve Test
• VGT Turbo Calibration
• Turn lights on/off
• Turn on/off horns

Note: Actuation tests vary by vehicle make, year, and model. Always confirm compatibility for your specific vehicle.

5. Maintenance

The XTOOL ASD60 offers lifetime free software updates. Regularly check the 'Update' section in the ASD60 app to ensure your device has the latest software for optimal performance and expanded vehicle coverage.

6. Troubleshooting

• App not connecting to device: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the ASD60 is properly plugged into the vehicle's OBD2 port with the ignition on. Try restarting both the app and the device.
• Diagnostic issues for newer models: For models after model year 2019, please ensure the vehicle's hood is open when attempting to enter the system diagnosis.
